The Jeff Chambers Variable n-tet

I had a lot of fun yesterday at a rehearsal of the Jeff Chambers Variable n-tet, a big band playing Jeff’s music. The band has been on hiatus for a few years, and I was happy to be invited to rehearse with this new 2012 incarnation. It features a lot of lovely musicians including friends I haven’t seen for a while – plus I met some new faces too. With sunlight streaming in through the Vortex windows, the rehearsal looked a bit like this (check Tom Ward’s handknit in the foreground – nice)…

The band put a record out in 2006, and you can investigate that further plus find out about Jeff and the group at his website. More activity to follow soon….
